Journalling, my frugal way - Hieman bujoa

Addicted to notebooks and writing implements, I have kept a diary since I was 11 or 12 years old. Had I preserved all my diaries, a bookshelf would be needed for them by now. However, I have reduced (and compressed) the amount of information kept and now almost all my life is in a concise form in few planners. :D

Why do I call my journalling frugal? I'd love to by more supplies, especially stamps and washi-tapes, but I prefer to use the materials I already have. More than money and stuff, enjoyable journalling needs time and creativity. My "method" is surely not an example of aesthetic journalling, but it really helps me stay on track for my goals.

That's all for now. Today and tomorrow, we Finns celebrate Vappu and welcome the sun and warmth! The weather is not the best possible. If you ever wonder how an adult can love colours and pretty little things so much, just see the view from my window in these days. :)

Your diaries is beautiful! It must be a lot of work to keep them so tidy and pretty. My blog is a gardendiary, so I 'm familar with writing :)

If it can be to anycomfort, we got snow here only a few days ago. This spring has been terribly cold, and we got -3 last night. This week we will get warmer weather they say, so I hope for it. I hope you will get warmer weather too!

Sara, your journal is really beautiful! I love your handwriting and I like how you decorate and colour the journal! I think it is wonderful to keep a journal. Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Beautiful ways you have of expressing your beautiful thoughts Sara. No wonder you are such a good blogger -- you have had much practice through journaling. Your long winters do probably give you much time for thoughtful indoor activities. The last two photos and captions made me laugh!

Dear Sara, this post is so lovely! :-) These colourful little things can brighten up our days... just simply because it's good to look at them. :-)You have a beautiful handwriting! :-)Have a happy week and a wonderful May! Warm hugs! ♥

I am a fellow lover of writing and paper supplies. My journals are mostly writing with very little decorations. I don't write everyday, but I find that when I do write, it's a wonderful way of sorting out my thoughts. A dated journal would be good for lists and ideas as you've shown. Thanks, too, for a glimpse of your Bible journal. I want to get one of those soon. Happy Vappu! I hope the sun and warmth soon arrive. It's been a chilly spring here, too, but we do have flowers and no snow!

I'm not disciplined enough to keep a journal sadly. Yours look so colourful and such fun. It must be great to sit dowm and remember past years while flicking through the pages.Have a wonderful month of May Sara :)x
